This was Nancy May Stewart, who became Mrs. William B. Leeds and after his death, who became Anastasia, wife of Prince Christopher of Greece.
Please note all the jewels she had worn in those pictures below. Does any royal have current possession of any of these jewels? Does anybody have color pictures of these jewels?
From "Evening Public Ledger" (Philadelphia, PA) dated Sept. 16, 1922:
Diamond comb in hair?
Note the same tiara as in 1st picture when she was photographed in her wedding gown with her new husband, Prince Christopher of Greece:
Also, you may find it difficult to detect this jewel piece on her chest, but I can see it when I am holding this paper copy of the picture. She had on her chest this large diamond bow. She had worn what appears to be a pearl-strand necklace with a pearl pendant as well.
From "The Washington Times" (D.C.) dated May 16, 1920:
This was Nancy's magnificent necklace and pendant. You will notice this same necklace in the next picture below.
From "Evening Public Ledger" (Philadelphia, PA) dated Sept. 30, 1922:
See the same necklace & pendant as above but in addition, she also wore this interesting tiara. I suppose the stones must be aquamarine or some real clear stones.
